Tuatara summons your senses

Tuatara's Temple of Taste brewpub is releasing a series six of beers emphasising six key tastes - sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami, and (just for luck) bready. A different beer has been brewed to profile each flavour - including a crab bisque-infused APA (umami!), a chocolate milk stout (sweet!), and a blueberry muffin-inspired wheat beer (bready!). The Summon Your Senses beers were brewed by Carl Vasta and the Tuatara team at Third Eye, and will be released together as a tasteful tap takeover. Available from 25 March at Third Eye, coming later to The Lumsden, Craft Hamilton, Dodson St Beer Garden, Volstead and Smiths Craft Beer House.
